  • The Oculus Rift Development Kit Repairability Score: 9 out of 10 (10 is best)

  • This is a preliminary score, given that this Rift is essentially a beta product. We'll know for sure once the real thing is released down the line—but here's what we've got for now!

  • Standard Phillips #1 coarse thread screws are used in both the headset and control box, making it a cinch to open them.

  • Standard clips around the perimeter make separating the front panel pretty easy.

  • Two foam adhesive pads holding the LCD in place were a tad annoying, but easy to re-adhere during reassembly.

  • The entire device can be taken apart in less than 10 minutes.

  • Kapton tape is used to hold some cables together, which should probably be replaced with new tape if the product is disassembled.
